Excess AI capacity? Huh? Wait a minute does that mean they've built more data centers than there's demand for? Oh! How did that happen? Well, I'm a complete idiot, a layman, not even a developer, what do I know about economic

> why can't you trust a racist with your privacy? Isn't it obvious? They might use that data against you. Even asking such a naive question raises an eyebrow.

What's the point of giving a single point of information about yourself to a single website, when all the websites you visit use the same trackers (from Google for example) only to merge these data points together and sell them as a pa

Imagine guys like Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg or Thiel cloning themselves. That's 100% dystopian. We would never be able to get rid of madmen! Power corrupts and makes the powerful just weird and unable to make rational decisions. That

I hate this because we have crazy billionaires who want to abuse this technology. But apart from tht it's pretty cool, though I hate that it's being developed in this dark day and age. Miserable times.

Since all the sheep are thinking "why do I need this junk wasting space in my attic or worse in my living room shelves? I need to get rid off it all as quick as possible, so I have more room for my mega inch TV with Netflix and so on..

A privacy nightmare, this WILL be misused systematically. I used to get excited about new technologies like that, but big tech ruined the future for me.

The people next door beg to differ. Also big LLMs aren't the AI we will actually be using, it's small local LLMs. These data centers are a dead and everyone knows that, even the people building them, but not the people paying for

And that's coming from the intellectual property thieves. Laughable. Let the Chinese steal the models, they will only make it cheaper for everyone.

The issue is though data centers are being built in areas with scarce water resources and they get prioritized. They still use a lot of water.

The military is waking up to the need to adapt frontline logistics. With killrates of 90% for traditional trucks in the Ukraine war, without resupply missions by UAVs/UGVs holding positions is impossible now.

I prefer to buy original releases of CDs second hand on Discogs. I then digitize them with Exact Audio Copy. I never bought into the recent vinyl hype. Though I really like the beautiful design of many new vinyl releases, I don't think
